They will also make it impossible for you to fly. Think you have a constitutional right to hop on planes? Think again. The constitution is only worth what the people are willing to demand with the force to back up those demands. Currently the American people demand that American Idol be put on television and nothing else, and so the constitution is good for nothing except toilet paper.
Welcome the new world where paranoia becomes a self fulfilling phenomenon. Y'know I was with you up until this point. Are you going to go into a school playground and blow yourself apart along with many kids because of these measures? Then it doesn't sound like a self fulfilling phenomenon.
Wow! What a fantastically detailed legal threshold for a full body search! They need ANY reason to do a full body search beyond "If you want to fly you'll submit to this"?
Well I use OOo which recommends you save it in its native format. If Office doesn't recommend you save it in its current format, then that's just stupid.
What I was *trying* to say was that there are lots of files stored in legacy formats, and it's a really dumb idea to suddenly stop supporting them without any warning. Aaah okay, that's different. Although why they haven't tried to save and migrate these legacy formats to the more modern ones confuses me a bit. Resaving it surely wouldn't introduce any more formatting errors then simply opening it in a newer program.
He can hardly sing To be fair, I don't know of anyone in Cobain's current state that can sing. Although I'm sure if they could even the tv news would carry it!
This was highlighted for me last night while my family watched Die Hard 4. I tried to watch it to spend time with them, I could only last 40 minutes because I was bored out of my mind. No plot, nothing to engage the mind. Simply explosion after explosion.
Ahhhh.... in the last year I've twice transferred documents from Windows 95-era computers to new machines running XP and vista. Which means these people have access to someone who has the knowledge to change the default values.
There's a lot of legacy shit out there that people still use, and if it suddenly stops working for the home users, without an explanation, that's just a stupid idea. I find it more amazing people are using buggy 10 year old software. It was never that great to begin with with XP being a vast improvement!
Interesting. But how are you making money if you're giving the product away? Will you be selling support to search admins? Advertising revenue on your site?
I am baby boomer and have haven't been to a library for over 10 years. I used to just about live in the library, but they have become irrelevant to me. The technical section is full of out of date arcane crap Wow, it must be old if someone like you is calling it outdated. When were the books published? 1901?
I agree that there is no point in buying fiction books, since you will inevitably run out of space, no matter how large a library you have. Pffft. Try to keep up with the times grandpa. This is the #1 reason to go digital (and I doubt I'll ever run out of room for those in my lifetime).
For those of you who buy books regularly, do you really read them 3+ times? Sometimes I re-read even more times then that, other times I only read it once or twice. I often buy books because the library doesn't have them.
At least with the iPhone, we're much more likely to witness a second coming...and a third, fourth, fifth, and so on, ad nauseam. I didn't know the iPhone's vibration function was so strong!
Later when one of the players gives up the ghost, seems to be about every five years with DVD players, you'll buy a new player that is dual format and just use it. Assuming one format doesn't die and so they don't stop making the dual players.
Putting it on the whole country whether you like it or not is exactly like China however. No, China forces everyone to use it. Anyone who doesn't want to use the filter is more then welcome to not use it.
Yeah. And the international banking system that allows child pron producers to get paid also supports child porn producers. And ages ago, when VHS tapes were sent around, the Postal Office also abetted child porn.
In the end, the internet is just a carrier. It's neither good nor bad. There's a difference between saying: Stores give profits to child porn producers vs Stores that sell child pornography give profits to child porn producers.
Similarly there's a difference between saying: Websites give profits to child porn producers vs Child porn websites give profits to child porn producers.
This is a difference you seem to not have grasped.
The real problem is everyone is worried about which one will become Beta and which will become VHS that only the extreme early adopters and easily swayed have bought into one. I've had salesmen specifically tell me not to buy Blue-Ray or HDDVD until one of them wins the war. Them telling people this costs them money, and yet they continue to do it.

Your post makes no sense. Isn't that what they said they're doing?
Please forgive me for not realizing something that plausible was a joke.

I'll move to OSX the second I don't have to throw away my perfectly usable hardware.
Besides which Microsoft's programs have always had trouble reading old formats. Just how readable were these old formats anyway?

Damn that's a long beta.
